Efficacy and Safety of Very Short-Term Dual Antiplatelet Therapy After Drug-Eluting Stents Implantation for Acute Coronary Syndrome: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Randomized Clinical Trials.

ABSTRACT: Background and Objective: Dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) is the basis for preventing ischemic events after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), and DAPT for 12 months has been the standard strategy recommended by the guidelines. However, patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) have a higher risk of thrombosis, and the application of very short-term DAPT (1-3 months) in patients with ACS is consistently controversial. The purpose of this study is to explore the efficacy and safety of DAPT for 1-3 months in patients with ACS who were implanted with drug-eluting stents (DES). Methods: We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials that compared the very short-term (3 months or less) with long-term (12 months or more) DAPT in patient
